Question

Hello I need help with the blank I will send a photo.♡

Answer 1

The given expression is

`20+24=(2\cdot10)+(2\cdot12)`

As you can observe, both terms have the number 2 in common, so we can express the sum using the distributive property

`(2\cdot10)+(2\cdot12)=2(10+12)`

Hence, the answer is 2(10 + 12).
